Mustang's Flame Alchemy
3rd-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: S, M (an inscribed magic circle)
- Duration: Instantaneous
- Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
A spark erupts into a torrent of flame from your hand. Choose up to eight creatures within range. If you don't know their location or can't see them, you can choose a 5 foot cube in place of one or more of the creatures. Any creature chosen or in a chosen space is a target and must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 3d10 fire damage on a failed saving throw and is blinded or deafened (your choice) until the end of their next turn, or half as much damage on a success.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the fire damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.
Black Fireball
5th-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 180 feet
- Components: V, S, M (sulfur and ash)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round
- Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
A maelstrom of swirling black fire appears near your hands. On your next turn, you choose a spot within range as an action, provided this spell hasn't ended. The maelstrom disappears from your hands and reappears centered on that point, grown exponentially. Each creature in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 7d6 fire and 7d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The maelstrom spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried, and it withers nonmagical plants.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the fire damage or the necrotic damage (your choice) increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 5th.
Saving Hand
3rd-level evocation
- Classes: Cleric, Druid, Paladin
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S (clasping hands with the target)
- Duration: Instantaneous
You leap to the air, flying towards a creature within range, taking their hand and rejuvenating them. They regain a number of hitpoints equal to 3d10 + your spellcasting ability modifier, can immediately stand if they are prone, and lose one disease or condition afflicting them, which could be blinded, deafened, or poisoned.
Additionally, after you heal the target, each creature
of your choice within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed back 15 feet by a
blast of divine light emitted from your hands.

- Duration: Instantaneous
You choose a creature within range to magically
construct a coffin around, shutting them inside with overlaying chains. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it is locked inside, stabbed
with a thousand blades, and magically dealt 5d12
piercing damage. The coffin turns to ash at the
start of its next turn. The creature has total
cover while it lasts and can't move or escape
by any means other than teleporting. On a
success, the creature takes half as much
damage and the coffin immediately fades.
An undead that has advantage on saving throws
against or is immune to effects that turn undead has disadvantage on its saving throw against this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases
by 1d12 for each slot level above 3rd.

Fracture Spirit
3rd-level illusion
- Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
When you cast this spell, you magically replicate a hall of mirrors for yourself in thin air. For the duration an illusory double of you spawns every 5 feet that you move, staying in that space but still appearing as if it were you; for example, if you speak, they all seem to speak. When you end your turn under this spell, you can immediately choose one double to swap places with.
A creature with truesight sees the illusions and you
for the reality, and any creature can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check as an action against your spell save DC to determine which is the real you, if any, among those it can see. On a success, it knows which is real until you make more doubles. A double dissipates upon being attacked or forced to save or contest an ability check,
and all doubles dissipate when the spell ends.

lasts until the end of your next turn when spell ends
or 80 damage is dealt to the first creature, whichever comes first.

Freeze
3rd-level transmutation
- Classes: Druid, Sorcerer
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You grasp the flesh or armaments of a creature and disperse their heat to the air, freezing them. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it is paralyzed. At the end of its next turn, it must make another Constitution saving throw, and it does so with advantage if it is Large or larger. The spell ends on a success, but on a failure, it is petrified, turned to ice. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect completely on a success.
If the spell lasts for its entire duration and the creature failed every save, it is permanently turned to ice, which does not melt naturally, even through a blazing summer.

Liliander's Hellspear
3rd-level evocation
- Classes: Paladin, Ranger, Warlock, Wizard
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
You summon a burning incorporeal spear and launch it towards a target within range. Make a ranged spell attack against that target. If there are any creatures 10 feet or less directly behind the target from you in a line and the attack roll would also hit them, they are also hit. On a hit, a creature takes 3d10 piercing and 3d10 fire damage. Additionally, their speed drops to 0 until the start of your next turn, when the spear dissipates.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the piercing damage or the fire damage (your choice) increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 3rd.

Objectify
2nd-level transmutation
- Classes: Bard, Warlock, Wizard
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Range (30 feet)
- Components: V, S, M (piece of a mimic's corpse)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Choose one creature you can see within range. You transform that creature into a nonmagical object. An unwilling creature can make a Wisdom saving throw, and if it succeeds, isn't affected by this spell. A target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
The target transforms along with whatever it is wearing and carrying into that form, as long as the object’s size is no larger than the creature’s size. The target gains 10 temporary hit points. These temporary hit points can’t be replaced by temporary hit points from another source. A target reverts to its normal form when it has no more temporary hit points, dies, or the spell ends. If the spell ends before then, the creature loses all its temporary hit points and reverts to its normal form. The creature has no memory of time spent in this form after the spell ends and it returns to its normal form.

On a failed save, a creature takes 6d12 piercing damage and is moved 10 feet in any direction of your choice except up. On each of your turns until the spell ends, you can use your action to outstretch tendrils again, targeting the same point or a different one.

Fist
3rd-level conjuration

and the spell's effects last until the end of your next turn.
Punch. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of you and add your Strength modifier to
the attack roll. On a hit, a target takes 3d6 + your Strength modifier in bludgeoning damage and is grappled by you if
it is Huge or smaller. Grapple and shove checks with this hand are Athletics (Strength) + your spellcasting ability modifier, and you can grapple and shove Huge creatures.
Crush. You smash a grappled creature in your fist. The target automatically takes 2d6 + your Strength modifier in bludgeoning damage and is restrained until the end of your next turn or until your grapple ends.
Toss. You toss a Huge or smaller creature within 5 feet of you back a number of feet away from you up to 5 x (your spellcasting ability + your Strength modifiers).

A tossed creature takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage, or twice as much if it collides with an object or creature that is a size smaller than it or larger. If you toss a creature you are grappling, you can choose to toss it down or any
horizontal direction, and you can toss it twice as
far, ending the grapple on either a success or fail.

a creature takes half the initial damage and no damage
at the end of its next turn.
If a creature is reduced to 0 hitpoints by the acid
